The lost art of cheaper production costs and good viewership making HBO think it's a good ROI on an annual cadence

RedBlankIt Mar 25, 2026 +181

The new Harry Potter said it would be impossible to release a new season every year. Even though game of thrones did it just fine. Aka, kids are probably gonna be in their 20s in the final season.

181

ThisHatRightHere Mar 25, 2026 +134

They have said they are aiming to be done in 10 years. Early 20s while playing an 18 year old is pretty standard in Hollywood. The issue is that if they start hitting any delays, suddenly the kids are 25 when they’re supposed to be 15, and so on. Not to mention they’re very likely going to have to replaced Dumbledore partway through again considering he’s 79 year old.

134

hacky_potter Mar 25, 2026 +37

I also think the jump in ages 11 and 13 is a bigger deal in terms of looks than 18 and 20. If they spec out the later seasons more than it could be fine, however, these early seasons are going to have these kids changing scene to scene. Any delay would be an issue

37

LordXenu45 Mar 25, 2026 +17

Certainly not the only example but that just happened with Welcome to Derry. They filmed half of season 1 then one of the strikes happened, so between episodes 4 and 5 it is brutally obvious how much the kids aged.

1

wrosecrans Mar 26, 2026 +1

I seriously doubt the show will actually stay in production for ten years. The value of the IP has been pretty severely compromised by the author being a toxic twatwaffle, and the TV industry is way too unstable to plan much on that sort of horizon. The streaming service it's on will probably have multiple major rebrandings and reorganizations before the second season is out. With all the mergers and acquisitions, nobody knows the state of the industry three or four years from now.

nathanosaurus84 Mar 25, 2026 +29

GoT was slightly different in that it was an ensemble cast shooting across three-four units across the world at a time. Harry Potter revolves around the main 3 younger actors that will most likely be in the majority of scenes and have strict rules on the amount of hours they can work. HP won’t be able to shoot as fast as GoT did. I imagine that’s why the first season is a planned shooting schedule of a year!

GaryTheCabalGuy Mar 25, 2026 +8

7 seasons in 10 years just like the movies. What's wrong with that?

mikehatesthis Mar 26, 2026 +2

The movies were two, two and a half hours at a high production value. The show is supposed to be eight episodes, so at least eight hours, at a similar theoretical* productional value level. That's hard to do. Expect a lot of delays assuming it even makes it the whole way. *It doesn't look very good.

2

qtx Mar 26, 2026 +1

The Harry Potter movies were also made over 25 years ago. Tech improved a lot over 25 years. What was hard and time consuming to do 25 years ago would take relatively no time today.

1

TeddysBigStick Mar 26, 2026 +2

Shows with kids have the issue that kids have strict limits on how many hours they can work a day. The films were pushing the red line the entire time and that is the reason His Dark Materials added a bunch of plot with adults and no kids.

JamStan1978 Mar 25, 2026 +1

100 million dollars an episode on harry potter compared to 6 million dollars in season 1 and reaching 15 million dollars in the final season of game of thrones. Harry potter will be much more intensive with the vfx and sets and stuff.

The reality is 8 episode seasons are absolutely doable every year even with kids. Shows used to be 24 episodes every year. They could absolutely keep a new season every year if they wanted to

-1

verrius Mar 26, 2026

TV shows focusing on children putting out 24 episodes a year were almost all multicam 30 minute comedies. This is going to be single camera 1 hour episodes. Focusing on a core group of 3 adults, it would be a challenge, but possible....with children, there's 0 chance. There's a reason a show like Game of Thrones only managed 10 episodes a year, despite a huge ensemble cast that shot in parallel across Europe, and still couldn't keep that pace up til the end.

0

Fenian-Monger Mar 26, 2026

When was prestige HBO television ever 24 episodes annually? The Sopranos for that last season but they weren't consistently anual and that was technically two seasons with the first half airing in 2006 and the second part in 2007. The Wire for most of its run was 12-13 episodes per season with the final season being 10. Six Feet Under was the same with 12-13. I literally can't think of a prestige HBO blockbuster show that reached 20 episodes a season annually.

0

MichaelMyersEatsDogs Mar 26, 2026 +1

Who said anything about the arbitrary line of “prestige tv”?

1

Fenian-Monger Mar 26, 2026 +2

I don't think it's arbitary, It's always been obvious that these shows take a bit more to produce than something like Supernatural. That was then and now days these shows are expected to be almost on the level of a cinematic film. I don't know why we are throwing around "shows use to be 24 episodes" when that was never the case for these types of series. I'm suprised something like Lost was able to pump out so many episodes during it's run.

2

MichaelMyersEatsDogs Mar 26, 2026

You just explained why it’s arbitrary. Sopranos is “prestige tv”. Lost is not but much more difficult to film. Regardless, even if you did 4 weeks per episode, which is as long as lot of movies get, you would still have plenty of time to spare to do these each year.

0

Fenian-Monger Mar 26, 2026 +2

Well as I mentioned Lost is an outlier and famously had a crazy production schedule and studio oversight the affects of which later became apparent during the shows runtime. I think nowdays writers rooms are probably given alot more time to cook, I'd wager probably due to the pit falls that befalled shows like Lost. Pre and post production is probably also a big part of it especially for big scale shows like this. I guess it really depends on the show, we know KoTSK will be anual but that seems like a smaller production, only 6 episodes in season one that are only about 30 minutes long. I'm definitely not an expert on any of this but to me this has always kind of been the standard for HBO, Harry Potter even compared to their other shows is probably a major production.

2

Peralton Mar 25, 2026 +11

Exactly. It also helps to have your entire show take place in one pre-built s and pre-lit set. Stack that with some really good writing you've got the elements for longevity.

11

Arma104 Mar 26, 2026 +1

Also the fact that most of the writers have come from the previous medical shows that are all gone now, and they're finally allowed to do it their way without network TV's heel on their throat. I am worried that The Pitt isn't gonna make it much longer or will get goofy/soap opera-y. The structure of a single day really limits the amount of character development that can reasonably happen, and lots of the ER situations and tension is already getting repetitive and predictable in the second season. They're awfully close to jumping the shark I feel.

15

enadiz_reccos Mar 25, 2026 +13

The Pitt has far more redundancies. When all you need to add is more dialogue, it's easier to flesh things out. Slow Horses is constantly on the movie. Most episodes don't spend much time in Slough House.

13

junglespycamp Mar 26, 2026 +4

The Pitt is MUCH simpler, really just the medical effects to affect budget, but Slow Horses is deceptively simple too. It gets a lot of mileage out of random shots on London streets, the MI5 set and computer screens. But the real reason the production is so fast is they shoot 2 seasons at a time.

4

mikehatesthis Mar 26, 2026 +1

> But the real reason the production is so fast is they shoot 2 seasons at a time. Sounds kind of like an illusion. What I mean is that the average "prestige TV show" will have something like 9-13 episodes a season and will return every other year if you're lucky. Slow Horses having six episode seasons sounds like a way around that issue. It's a smart move considering the current production climate for television. But still, sounds like a workaround to keep it going so regularly.

1

BlueberryWasps Mar 26, 2026 +1

standard for a british show. also it’s a spy-action thriller with filming locations all over the country, not a single set like the pitt. and based on a book series with a finite amount of material. the point is it still releases on a consistent schedule

Yup, there used to be a time where things like Fringe, POI, The good wife, Hannibal etc or even just really well done procedurals ala The mentalist or Castle lived on network tv. Now with how competitive everything is with streaming and trying to keep costs down, you only get the most basic watered down stuff. No big unique premises, not even good elevated spins on the basics. Some of them are watchable but the bar is so much lower.

The pitt does the exact same thing they do except with gore and swear words to make it 'edgy' and 'prestige'. They are no different than ER, Grey's, Chicago Med, and the many other medical procedurals we've seen on network TV. It's crazy how many laurels this show is getting for not innovating anything really.

-14

tlkevinbacon Mar 25, 2026 +3

I'll give you the ER comparison. Part of the appeal and the beauty of The Pitt to me so far is that it takes places in the hospital and everything we learn and know about the characters comes from their interactions with one a other in that hospital. Greys, Chicago Med, etc.... largely focus on the characters and their lives with the hospital as a backdrop. The Pitt has the ER as the main character and everything else is a side character. It feels more Scrubs in that regard.

Has to be said thoo, this kind of series can work because it' s basicaly just 3 or 4 sets with kesser known actors working in it. The crew behind this production it' s all old heads who made their bones doing serials for years, so they know how to optimize budget and time. I wouldn' t be surprised if, with the actors becoming more famous, they will need to do some recasts.

53

Colemonstaa Mar 25, 2026 +33

Even that's accounted for. They can explain literally any of the main characters just not being there anymore in any given season, even Noah Wyle if he's had enough.

33

MappleStarsSky Mar 25, 2026 +21

It' s truly fascinating to me how well made this show is even on the logistics. I think the fact that the characters are so "de-personalized" also works to make an anthology series like this work better too. Even if I' m still always a bit worried the series will lose its steams when main staff members leaves.

3 or 4 sets with lesser known actors is how a large portion of sitcoms and medical dramas were produced back in the day

MappleStarsSky Mar 25, 2026 +3

I agree! But back in the day actors would not "work" in cinema. If you were doing TV, you were basicaly considered a B-level actor and you would doom your career. One of the reasons as to why it' s so hard nowadays to make a yearly release is because lead actors becomes hot in hollywood if the show is popular, so they get "poached", and timing becomes a mess.

That used to be every show. With today’s ballooning budgets I think TV producers are forgetting how the narrow scope used to be a *good* thing. Serialized television has a comfort food appeal where you know more or less what you’re gonna get in every episode and that’s why you keep coming back week after week; because you want more of what you liked last time. Same cast, same set, same theme song.

Not to be sarcastic.. but the "lost" art might just be the 15 episode seasons.

"Lost art" like there was this show in the 90s, super niche, you've probably never heard of it, but I found a DVD in my local thrift store and wow it was like they do not make things like this anymore, and I was just blown away, but totally we can do that on TV today, people are ready for that kind of storytelling on a wide scale and HBO is here to bring it. Anyway, I don't actually remember the name but it had Batman and Goose in it. Next year we are thinking of going really far out there and launching a legal drama, where you see like lawyers and judges and stuff, which normally you'd think would be super boring, but I think we can be really creative and pull people into something they aren't used to seeing on the silver screen.

Why does one hospital shut down but another can work with computers down? Why didn’t they talk to the dept head vs the new attending (makes no logical sense). Even if the system was down, they could use their phones or laptops to write notes and orders - tethering off phones. Why keep people in rooms when they need them, churn and burn. they would have more than one translator app IPad.

Are those the same hbo bosses that wanted The Pitt to make the ICE storyline “fair”?

No? That was a WBD note, not Bloys.

Bloys is the CEO of WB TV, not just HBO. And The Pitt isn’t made by HBO anyway.

My only issue with it is sometimes it is nice to have time pass before the next set of episodes. I think of ER and how it would allow for more character development. Not to say that Pitt doesn't have chance to do that, but it's sometimes nice to have larger arcs.
